I feel I have to tell you that my mom and I are wearing almost exactly the same thing, which reminds me of the matching mother-daughter dresses she tried to force me to wear on Christmas when I was ten and already way too old for it. Do you think if I’d just sucked it up about the mother-daughter dress back then, my mom would have gotten this kind of thing out of her system and let me to spend the summer hanging out at the rec center pool where I belong?
